“Great results, even better experience! I have had the pleasure to work with Arran at Oakstone over the last 6+ months on some very unique and niche requirements. My expectations were low as I had already been working with a recruitment firm for the previous 6 months with no success. Arran took the time to really understand what I was looking for and was able to find me some great candidates that I was able to hire; Arran was able to successfully do his job, but what separates him and Oakstone from the other recruitment firms I have dealt with is his attention to detail, his thoroughness, and most importantly his thoughtfulness. I genuinely felt that Arran's top priority was servicing both me (client) and the candidate in finding a perfect match. I would recommend Arran and Oakstone to anyone looking to hire top talent.”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Arran at Oakstone. From our first call, Arran took a very thoughtful and considerate approach. He took the time to understand me as a person, and identify my potential motivations for exploring a new opportunity, as well as understanding my strengths and experience, and how it may be a good fit for the role. Arran did a great job of staying in touch and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend working with him enough! I now consider Arran a good friend who I will continue to keep in touch with.”

“Dealing with Oakstone has been quite different from other headhunters/recruiters I have interacted with.  

It is quite clear why your firm has been so successful:  you share insights with prospective candidates that only a trusted advisor would have. Obviously, the Oakstone team is highly regarded and viewed as much more than just as a "recruiter" by your clients/employers.”

“Oakstone was great throughout the process. I wasn’t sure about the role as it was outside of my sector experience, but they continued to engage and coached throughout. I’ve been approached numerous times by recruitment agencies, etc.; this was the best engagement I have experienced. I would have no reservations about introducing Oakstone to friends and ex-colleagues; in fact, there may be an introduction this week. Thanks for reaching out and introducing yourself.”
